Substantial ImprovementThe Premium Ride Emulsion Shocks substantially improved the ride quality of my 2015 Sportster Custom. Small road imperfections are less noticeable, large road imperfections are less jarring, cornering has been improved, and the bike feels more planted to the rode. Overall, I am very well pleased.
At the same time I installed the Premium Ride Emulsion Shocks, I installed the Premium Ride Single Cartridge Fork Kit. With the two, I now sit a bit taller in the saddle, and the front-end nose-dive (and aching wrists) that I experienced when applying the front brake is less pronounced. A side benefit is that the "Reduced Reach Pullback Handlebars" now are a bit more comfortable.
On the down-side: (1) the harmonics have changed. I now have a slight buzzing in the foot-pegs at @ 3,500 RPMs; (2) the preload "dots" are not visible with my saddlebags installed; (3) the spanner wrench is made out of soft aluminum--even after a few efforts to loosen the locking rings, the nipple is scored--suggesting that it ultimately may shear off; and (4) the instructions are confusing. To adjust the initial preload, the locking ring is moved to the preload dot; to lock the preload, the adjusting ring is snugged. Sounds backwards. Instructions are silent on re-adjusting preload: Which ring do you loosen first? If you follow the instructions in reverse order you'd be wrong. You need to first loosen the locking ring.

Part number ending in 76 & 77The part number ending in 76 is 4" taller than the stock 883N. The short 77 part number will meet the stock length... we will see when they arrive.

Length of shocks

What is the length of these shocks? I have a 2006 XL1200R and I do not want to lower the motorcycle. Standard on the R is 13&quot;

Compatability with Sportster Leather Saddlebag Kit

Hi. I own a 2015 Sportster Custom. Are the Premium Ride Emulsion Shocks compatible with either the Rigid Leather Locking Saddlebag Kit (90201321) or the Rigid Leather Locking Saddlebag Kit (53050-10)? In other words, while either kit is installed, will I be able to clearly see the preload adjusting dots on the Premium Ride Emulsion Shocks and be able to easily adjust the preload collar and the locking collar? The two kits appear to be identical, except that the updated kit (90201321) uses longer attaching bolts and adds four offset spacers. If the Premium Ride Emulsion Shocks only are compatible with the updated kit, will they be compatible with the older kit if I use the longer attaching bolts and offset spacers? Thanks much.

How long are these supposed to be

I put a set on my 2015 iron 883 and they were about a half an inch to an inch longer than the stock ones I took off so my back end is a bit higher than it used to be. Will they break in a bit and return to what my stock shocks were?
